To make the cake:

1. Turn on the oven to 190°C.
2. Grate 3 medium size carrots using a cheese grater. If it’s too difficult ask an adult to help.
3. Mix 2 eggs with 50 grams of soft brown sugar, then add 5 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
4. Mix in 100 grams of self-raising flour and half teaspoon of cinnamon powder.
5. Add the grated carrots and a handful of raisins if you like. (I don’t like raisins so I left them out).
6. Mix well using a wooden spoon but only one way, that is clockwise.
7. Line a square baking tray with baking paper and pour in the mixture. Spread out evenly using the wooden spoon.
8. Ask and adult to put the baking tray into the hot oven. Bake the cake for 15-20 minutes until it’s golden brown.
9. Leave it it in the tray for five minutes to cool, then turn it out onto a wire rack.
10. When it’s completely cooled, slice the cake up.
11. Enjoy!

Tips

• You can use any other dried fruits such as cranberries, apricots, cherries and so on.
• You can use white or wholemeal flour.
• Keep the slices in a cake tin to stay soft!
• I used half the sugar of the original recipe, I think it’s sweet enough. You can also use honey instead of sugar.
